Thanks for bringing up the eye strain issue. I think that's the big thing that people are missing about the iPad when they say it's going to be an eReader (or Kindle) killer. I think the iPad will be great for casual readers, photo rich magazines, and folks who love their iPhone/iPods. But for hardcore reading, it'll be tough on the eyes. That said, I still think most people will sacrifice that to get all the extra features offered from the iPad. Time for e-ink technology to get cheaper
